CONSTRUCTION HEALTH AND SAFETY

Construction sites are quickly changing environments that present a multitude of safety and industrial hygiene hazards to employees. Hazards may include the following:

Lead

Asbestos

Welding fume

Paint vapors

Waterproofing

Silica dust

Diesel exhaust

Carbon monoxide

Mold

Bacteria

Contaminated soil

Heavy metals

Construction sites also can create air quality issues for surrounding properties and the community. If concerned abutters contact regulatory authorities about unaddressed air quality issues, it can cause a project to be shut down until the issue is addressed satisfactorily.

• Onsite industrial hygiene and safety oversight
• Industrial hygiene air sampling
• Implementation of a perimeter air monitoring program to document off site release of construction related contaminants
• Inspection of building materials for the presence of asbestos, lead, or PCBs
• Development of site specific Hazardous Materials Health and Safety Plan to deal with contaminated soils
• Creation of dust and odor control plans to minimize issues with abutters
• Design of decontamination plans to ensure that equipment and personnel leave site contamination onsite and do not bring it to the community or their homes
• Site-specific safety and health training
• Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) consultation
• Noise monitoring and control
